[00:01.00] 作曲 : Michael Irineo Campa/Payton Anthony Kuhn/Michael Clayton Levi/Anthony Schlickman
[00:24.90]Separated by the astral plane
[00:27.00]I descend into eternal flame
[00:27.69]Demonic deities beckoning my name
[00:31.41]My skin begins to boil
[00:31.95]As hands reach from the soil
[00:32.49]Grabbing pulling dragging scratching pulling me into the darkness
[00:33.93]Can't get free my senses are failing me
[00:39.18]I can't breathe I'm fighting and panicking struggling
[00:40.80]Suffocating
[00:41.07]Corpses surrounding me following swallowing
[00:41.97]Feeding
[00:42.12]Eating all of my flesh and bone
[00:42.87]Screaming knowing that I am here alone
[00:45.51]Fade to black and now only my soul remains
[00:56.97]I awaken in an unknown realm
[00:59.76]Just a vehicle while I'm at the helm
[01:01.35]Prisoner of this reoccurring nightmare
[01:06.24]Pushing forth I know salvations waiting right there
[01:18.18]Disoriented but I know that I've been here before
[01:24.18]My instincts taking hold and begging me to search for me
[01:27.81]Voices begging me to learn from all this suffering
[01:34.56]What is the message that they've tasked me with uncovering
[01:35.67]A new fire ignites inside me
[01:36.63]I fight off the demons beside me
[01:39.18]Unbeknownst to the ways I should turn
[01:40.92]Crawling through the corpses as adrenaline burns
[01:43.08]See a flickering light in the distance
[01:45.27]Hoping it will reward my persistence
[01:46.98]See a doorway turn the handle
[01:47.76]To a room that's lit with candles
[01:55.65]I look around confusion clouding as I settle in
[01:57.96]I feel a rumble in my feet beneath the sediment
[01:59.25]A creature rises from the floor a living breathing callous
[02:05.07]Frozen in fear but it appears that it means me no malice
[02:39.15]It speaks an unknown language in an old familiar voice
[02:42.36]It drops a blade down at my feet and offers me a choice
[02:47.64]"Put the blade inside your chest to start your life anew
[02:49.41]Strike me down and all your suffering continues"
[02:50.43]Hold the blade and contemplate my actions
[02:55.65]I know my choice - anticipation makes me nauseous
[02:57.39]I raise the weapon knowing that this is a test of faith
[03:07.41]A sacrifice of life required by the unknown wraith
[03:08.40]I take a breath and slowly slide the blade into my breast
[03:12.90]Fight through the pain in hopes this finally puts me to rest
[03:14.22]The creature nods in satisfaction grinning ear to ear
[03:18.63]The test is passed it says and you are free to leave from here
[03:19.83]A light appears shining showing me the exit
[03:22.14]My room appears my body laying where I left it
[03:23.13]I close my eyes and realize the reason for my journey
[03:24.72]I am learning
[03:25.68]I know not yet my life's purpose but the message is
[03:26.97]A greater person lies before me on the precipice
[03:28.29]With greatness now inside my reach I venture to my vessel
[03:30.69]I awaken freely
[03:34.71]I can now begin my healing
